Easter

We in the Call home quite love our holidays. Who doesn't, right? We spent Saturday evening dying eggs. Everyone always gets their own dozen that the Easter Bunny hides while we are sleeping. So, nine children x 12 eggs each = lots of hard boiled eggs stashed in crazy places in our home. Oh please let us find all of them (which we didn't this year - one of Isabelle's still hidden. Surely our noses will lead us to it at some point!).



Don't let that sunshine fool you - it was freezing that evening. Yes, Caleb is wearing his Snuggie and I am wearing my coziest sweatshirt. And Zak...? Not sure what he's doing.



It took quite a while to find all the eggs - especially for the two older boys. You have to feel bad for my children once they hit about 12 years of age or so. The Easter Bunny, who has a sense of humor a lot like Chris's, decides to hide eggs in the most ridiculously hard places. You know, this is fun for maybe 10 minutes or so, then it just gets old :) There were lots and lots of hints given. And if they thought the eggs were hard, well, the baskets were crazy hard to find.

Here we are after all the baskets had been found...








Clara LOVES peanut butter cups. Eli noticed his were all missing from his basket. It was like a five-second mystery as to where they could have gone. We took one look at Clara, saw the chocolate covering her cute lips and shiny wrappers surrounding her and deducted she stole the peanut butter cups. But not just Eli's! EVERYONE'S. Eaten. Gone. All of them :) Within 5 minutes of the baskets being found :)

Happy, happy Easter!

PS...We are not a "cute pajama" family as these pictures give away. No judging.
